First time I've not seen someone use Flash Player. You use sites or PC programs that require Java?

Not So Hot
The antivirus field in general is growing and evolving, with most products doing at least a decent job of rooting out malware and preventing new infections. IObit Malware Fighter 2, recently reviewed for the first time by PCMag, is a notable exception. In both my malware blocking and malware removal tests, it achieved new low scores.
For malware removal, IObit scored an unprecedented 0.8 of 10 possible points; the next-lowest score was 4.2 points. IObit identified seven of my twelve malware-infested systems as perfectly clean. It earned just 1.5 points for malware blocking, far below the next-lowest score of 5.9 points, yet still managed to identify some valid programs as suspicious. The best thing I can say about this program is that it has plenty of room for improvement.

IObit Malware Fighter 2 Review

Hi,
Let me clarify:
I have heard that there are copycats of adobe update for flash player which actually are malware. About 6 months back while updating the OS, I had the popup. I was distracted and clicked install. Later it struck me that I did not have the player. But after that I could not update anything. Not Malwarebytes nor super antispyware. I could only update MSE. I tried for a couple of days, and as there was no progress, Just formatted and reinstalled. I don't watch on line videos.
I was directed to a site, probably by Microsoft I think, because I don't remember, to install java and I did. I am certain both are very respected sites as I am very set in surfing habits and I do not stray.
Regards.

Hi,
Thank You for the detailed info. I did not know this. Any suggestions for a free real time malware fighter? Or does MSE and avast suffice?
Regards.
